Hello friends at Pixlbit: 

 Im still visiting Drs and still trying to figure out why I am still having chest pains even though I had  balloon surgery on my heart last november. but to make a long story short, I had to go a a new Dr for my other Pain problems. At a Pain management clinic.

The Doctor was asking the usual questions. Do I smoke, drink, or do anything harmful. I told him I do nothing. Then I said, well, at 56 years old I do play video games. He asked which ones? I said the Metal Gear Solid series. He said...Snake!

I had no problems getting him to prescribe me some heavy duty pain pills so I can now do QTE in video games...Pain Free!

Being a Gamer has it's privileges!

I suffered from chest pains for years.  I went to doctors and they couldn't find anything wrong with me, so one suggested it was stress. I was like, it hurts too much to be stress!  

But now that I don't have them anymore, and my life is more relaxed, I realized they were right.  I'm not saying that's what you've got, but I can relate to chronic pain.  that shit sucks.  Frown

They already tried that. Im on anti-depresants...on acid reflux, on nitriate, on just about anything you can imagine and I still have chest pains.  Maybe I should just take nothing and see what happens?

I imagine the doctor hitting you with the tiny mallet thing and saying "does it hurt?" and when you don't respond, he says "Snake? Snake? Snaaaake!"

Just goes to show that anyone this day and age could be a gamer. Doctors, bankers, stock traders. It could even be the mail main or a politician.

Sounds like you need to see a doctor like Gregory House from the TV show House M.D. Sure he's cranky but he's able to figure out mystery illnesses.

I need to do something. I like the pain pills but it just mask the real underlying problem. And yeah, you never know who a gamer is these days.

Am I the only one who pictured a giant exclamation point pop up over the Dr.'s head? Probably.

Well that's a pretty decent perk at least. Hope those docs find out what's going on and fix it.
